Field Documentation

tag

uint8_t dhcp_option::tag

Tag.

len

uint8_t dhcp_option::len

Length.

This is the length of the data field (i.e. excluding the tag and length fields). For the two tags DHCP_PAD and DHCP_END, the length field is implicitly zero and is also missing, i.e. these DHCP options are only a single byte in length.
